Originally they were there to notify first responders in case of an incident where the driver is incapacitated. You used to see them held up with suction cups so they could be removed when the baby was, in fact, not onboard. It seems like that original meaning has been kind of lost, but they didn’t start out as a “please don’t run into me” sign.

The cup knocked onto the ground is a nice touch.

Banjo Kazooie Jiggies of Time

It’s a romhack by Mark Kurko that makes Ocarina of Time into a Banjo Kazooie game. It’s really well done and I’ve heard it’s even compatible with the recently recompiled PC port of Banjo Kazooie.

No, the wings would be fine. A 737 carries up to 48,000 lbs of fuel in the wings. Plus, when it’s in the air, the wings are supporting and transferring all of the lift holding the plane up and all of the thrust moving the plane forward. Having a couple dozen people on the wings isn’t going to make them fail.

That usage always bugs the shit out of me, to the point that I had to refer back to English classes to figure out why. It is an adjective, but it is not a predicate adjective like it’s used here. It is an attributive adjective and has to be used in conjunction with the noun that it’s modifying.

“She made good aesthetic choices.” -Yes

“These flowers are aesthetic.” -No

The last time I watched a 60 Minutes segment, it was hosted by Andy Rooney. But now I’ve seen this one and I think a lot of other people will too. Better still, they’ll see it contextualized as something the government didn’t want them to see. Thanks, Streisand Effect!

To be perfectly honest, I don’t know of a specific pregnant Sonic mod and I’d rather not search for one. Pregnant Sonic just a common kink (I’ll let you google that for yourself) in the wide, wide world of Sonic fanfic that often finds itself lambasted alongside the more tongue-in-cheek degenerate humor like Shrek and Thomas the Tank Engine mods.

What kind of noob doesn’t even have the Thomas the Tank Engine/Pregnant Sonic/nude Sims mod installed from the start? Like what are you even doing?

That guy who lives in the dumpster definitely shows full frontal nudity at a couple points.

Right, but that’s usually called a “mix tape”, not “mixed” unless that’s some kind of regional thing. I’ve never heard anyone call that a “mixed tape” before this post.

The overwhelming majority of automatic transmissions made in the last 85 years have had torque converters, not automatically operated clutches (referring to the primary connection between motor and driveline, not torque converter lockup clutches or transmission clutch packs). Cars that use the automatic equivalent of a manual clutch pedal have really only been practically produced in the last 15 years in the form of dual wet clutch automatics.

…especially for Marian Davies - Pte Neville’s niece - who remembers her uncle leaving to go to war and never returning.

How old is she?? They said the notes were written in 1916. If she was old enough to remember her uncle leaving, let’s say 4 at the time, she’d have to be 113 today. Of course that’s possible but wow, what are the chances of finding a living supercentenarian relative with a memory of the author of a 109-year-old letter in a bottle?

You know, it’s actually a lot more complicated than I thought originally. It is a satire account, and it isn’t a “real” place, but apparently a lot of the photos originate from a truck stop in Tennessee. There’s a whole internet saga around finding the actual location. Most of the photos they post are digitally manipulated in some way, including alleged AI face superimposition, but they play the satire so straight that it’s impossible to know to what extent. You may be right that it’s not whole-cloth AI generated, but it also isn’t a photo of a kid with a tub full of orange soda.

Since nobody has mentioned it yet, this is from Celina 52, which is a fictional truck stop social media account that uses AI generated images like this one to satirize rural American culture. Peyton doesn’t exist.

He fixes the cable?

No, not trolling. I’d never heard that they had a policy against it until I looked it up just now.

Somehow I was under the impression that devs didn’t even get a say as to if or when Steam would put their games on sale. I thought I had heard that as a major gripe of devs who list games on Steam.

Now I’ll have to decide when I feel like it’s worth the remainder of my life and $35.

Does Factorio ever go on sale? I think I’ve had it wishlisted for over a year now.
